As the markets approach the end of the year, some end-of-year review examinations are in order. Let's focus this piece on the top dividend-payers.

The chart below displays all North American companies with market caps larger than $2 billion and dividend yields greater than or equal to 5 percent in the last twelve months (y-axis).

Free cash flow yield is plotted on the x-axis.

Sixty four such companies exist.

Interestingly, 26 of those 64 have negative free cash flow yields.

In other words, of the largest dividend payers this year, 26 are paying out cash while free cash flow is shrinking.
